What is TIKLOS folk dance?

Tiklos(also called "pintakasi") is the Waray equivalent to the "bayanihan". Groups of people work for somebody without hoping for anything in return. They work odd jobs like clearing forests, digging the earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a new location or even building a house! In all these for free. Of course grateful benefactors would offer drinks and food; but it is not always expected. During breaks these people dance the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), gimbal and tambora drums or when available, the "sista". The Tiklos music is also played to call them back to work.

What is a non competitive dance studio and is it better?

There are usually two types of philosophies when it comes to dance instruction: the "Art" studios, which focus on the art of teaching and learning dance, and the "Competition" studios, which focus on competition and winning awards. Traditionally, the art studios are the place where technique is the focus - if you want to be a great dancer with solid technique in place this is where you would go. The competition studios are sometimes faulted for their focus on teaching "tricks" - moves that are impressive to an audience but not particularly artistic in a high art sense. With the recent explosion of reality shows and dance shows on television dance is vulnerable to losing it's higher art capabilities. Many sports-minded people can only evaluate something in terms of how many awards or trophies are earned as opposed to higher level thinking. The quality of art studios versus competition studios can be compared to say the artistry of something like Alvin Ailey Dance Company versus a Las Vegas show. An Ailey dancer needs to be able to use sustained movement where a Las Vegas showgirl just needs to be able to kick high. The kicks are impressive and she looks good doing them when her leg goes high, but the Ailey dancer will interpret a dance using many different fast and sustained movements and tell an entire story with her body. She can only do this with solid technique and quality training. The most important factor to consider when evaluating a dance studio is the background of the Owner/Artistic Director and his/her expertise in the field.

What is standard drill team?

This is a broad question. There are all kinds of drill teams:

  • Mounted (horse, mostly)
  • Motorcycle
  • Book Cart (or anything else pushable)
  • Dance-related
  • Cheer-related
  • Military

You name it and it's probably a drill team.

"Standard" doesn't necessarily define the question much more, but it does give a slight clue. In military drill there are different competition phases: Exhibition Drill (XD) and Regulation Drill (RD). Standard could be a reference to the RD phase of a competition in which some teams only participate. RD consists of a list of commands that come directly out of a service's drill and ceremonies manual. Nothing fancy here, only standard drill that every service member is taught when entering Basic Training. The limits are time and the area in which to march, usually 50 feet by 50 feet.

What is neo classical ballet?

Neoclassical ballet is a type of ballet formed by George Balanchine and is "American ballet" (like Vagonava is Russian Ballet).

This type of ballet makes everything bigger and grander so instead of small controlled jumps, for example, in Balachine/neoclassical ballet, there would be huge jumps. Another example is when you finish a pirouette in fourth position, some styles have you end in a small fourth, but in neoclassical ballet, you land in a wide fourth with arms lengthened and "reaching."
